About The Queen's Regimental Riders Association

QRRA - The Queen's Regiment History

We are ex-servicemen of the County Regiment from
all Battalions of The Queen’s Regiment, which for many years had it’s Regimental Head Quarters based at Howe Barracks in Canterbury.

Our members have seen active service in many conflicts, and now, since the formation of The QRRA under The Queen’s Regimental Association, our aim is to raise funds for the benevolence of veterans of our former Regiment.

The Queen's Regiment took its title on 31st December 1966, following a Defence Review in 1957.

The period of the Queen’s Regiment’s life was one of the most momentous in our country’s history; indeed,in the history of the world. It saw revolutions in technology, wars, unprecedented disasters and starvation.

Following the Governments “Options for change” in July 1991, the Regiment was amalgamated with The Royal Hampshire Regiment, to form the Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment.
